Rubbish art is a fact of the artist’s life. Yep, that is right, you make rubbish art, I make rubbish art, everyone who has ever tried to do something creative has messed it up at some point!
But you know what? Making rubbish art is a great tool that we can use to help us to make better art. I am sharing tips and an exercise in my art video today to help you to make good use of your rubbish art and I am using one of my rubbish art pieces to do it!
Support and get behind the scenes, chats and exclusive videos! (Not sure what Patreon is then )
